FAIRPORT, N.Y. – Bosch Security Systems, Inc., a full-line manufacturer of high-quality security
solutions, announced today it has invested more than $500,000 over the last year to bolster its
training offerings for customers. With new training centers, more in-depth classroom courses and a
greater range of eLearning offerings, Bosch is helping to support and educate dealers and
integrators as the market shifts toward greater adoption of IP security solutions.
This month, the company opened a training center in Ontario, California,
near Los Angeles, increasing the number of Bosch training facilities to five
nationwide. Upcoming courses at the Ontario center will focus on IP video
cameras and encoders and on Bosch’s G Series Control Panel. Additional
training centers in the South and Southeast regions of the U.S. are planned
to open later this year.
The expanded classroom training portfolio places greater emphasis on IP systems. These
comprehensive courses include product demonstrations, configurations, hardware installation,
software overviews and troubleshooting tips. Upon completion of the courses, attendees will be
able to perform complete end-to-end installations of Bosch’s video over IP equipment.
In addition to classroom training, new self-paced, eLearning courses on the G Series Control
Panels, Divar MR Digital Video Recorders, as well as on Extreme CCTV license plate capture and
active-infrared technology are also available and can be completed in sections whenever it is most
convenient for the participant. The online courses are designed to help technicians and sales
personnel become familiar with Bosch technology without the expense of travel and time away
from billable client activities.
“Security technology is evolving quickly with the continued development of IP
solutions, and dealers and integrators must keep pace with these advancements
to meet the demands of end users today,” said Jim Musshafen, Director, Customer Solutions
Support for Bosch Security Systems, Inc. “The expanded training program is designed to help our
customers recommend, design, install and support reliable security solutions. Their success is a
critical factor in sustaining our leadership in the market, and we will continue to make investments
in this area.”
